If I tap the Throttle Position Sensor signal line to read it from A0 on the Arduino with a 5 feet 20ga wire, will the original voltage be compromised and if so, is there a way I can add a diode or something to my tap to solve this? TY!

Tapping a TPS sensor signal voltage - will it reduce the voltage to the ECU?

Thanks y’all. Would a shorter tapped wire length (than 5 feet) reduce any effects, or would it be negligible to shorten it to 1 foot. TY
